Wellhead Penetrator Cables
Wellhead penetrator cables provide the crucial link to power downhole electric submersible pumps (ESPs) and other wellhead components. These feed-through systems require cabling that can endure high levels of mechanical stress and extended periods of vibration. These components must also perform reliably in a variety of environmental perils including hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, mud, oil, high temperatures, and salt from marine deployments. Zeus insulated wire provides the essential broad-scope protection for penetrator cables to assure uninterrupted power between surface and downhole components.
PEEK Insulated Wire
PEEK insulated wire for penetrator cables offers some of the top performance properties of any insulated wire. PEEK is UL 94 V-0 rated for flame resistance, is abrasion resistant, and is highly resistant to impact and wear for increased durability. PEEK insulation performs in temperatures up to 500 °F (260 °C) and is resistant to a broad range of chemicals including acids, bases, water, or hydrocarbons. PEEK wire is 100% AC spark tested in-line during production.
Key Benefits And Capabilities:
- High Dielectric Strength
- Wall Thickness Available Up To .090” (2.28mm)
- Available In American Wire Gauge (AWG) Sizes #3 To #12 (additional sizes upon request)
PFA Insulated Wire
PFA insulation over wire provides a low friction coating for easier cable pushability. PFA is optically clear and more flexible than PEEK coating. PFA is available in a high purity form minimizing the risk of contaminating substances that it contacts. PFA coating is also an excellent gas barrier to prevent chemicals from reaching the coated wire and is highly chemically resistant. PFA has a working temperature up to 500 °F (260 °C), is flame resistant with a limiting oxygen index of 95, and has high dielectric strength.
